I just read an interview with mikey P, and one of the reasons that electronic music isnt selling is due to the music press going straight for the cash and losing the once fundamental issues of intergretty (sp?). Which i can agree with. Most of the dance mags over here are just about having it "large" etc, and NME has lost all its good writers and just ploughs out all the tedius rock bands (i.e. the strokes, the vines, the [insert 1 to 2 random words here]) and ignores our scene completey. What do you people think? |

I think you're just about dead-on right. But as long as the MB keeps up, I've all the music resources I need right here. THANX GUYS |

Yeah,I know what mags you mean...more about the 'hit' you can get off leccy (did u like my term?)music ,than it's substance.Will it ever be taken seriously? The NME can just f*ckin' burn. A much better read(IMO,of course) would be 'Future Music' and 'Computer Music' mags where they do take it seriously and still have the interviews etc.Oh,and its spelt 'integrity'.I know,shoot me! };> |

if anything, i've been seeing more electronic music in the more "commercial press" for example the nme. The fact that Fischerspooner have blown up has made these mags take a deeper look at electronic music. Fair enough, thats a completely different side to the Warp thing, but i'm glad that not everybody gets my music. I'd feel far too normal. |

jockey slut is ok, ive bought it a couple of times but i'd prefer a weekly mag that can be posted through the letter box on a wednesday without the fucking free cd being pocketed by the gypo paper boy |

I think magazines like NME need "characters" to make and break. Electronic music's artists don't provide those "characters", it's often just people making music. Electronic music is often also more abstact than other forms of music and writing about abstract things is a hard thing to do. |
